The Windhoek High Court in Namibia refused an application to compel the Namibian Home Affairs Ministry to allow the twin daughters of a gay couple to enter Namibia. The twin daughters have been left stranded in South Africa after the Namibian Home Affairs Ministry refused to issue travel documents for Paula and Maya Lühl-Delgado. The Ministry demands genetic proof of parenthood. The two were born through a surrogate pregnancy in Durban last month. In a short sitting in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court, Judge Justice Masuku said allowing the application will constitute judicial overreach and interfere in the realm of the executive.
